Hey Belle! The treadmill is definitely not the only option! I mainly go to it out of laziness and ease. It is just easier sometimes to run on it then deal with the conditions…I like to take the easy way out. Like you said there is a lot to be said for getting out in the fresh year and working through things. You can never beat being outside for a run.

I will never understand why I have to get over treadmill running. I will never treadmill. Seriously, if there is snow on the ground and I have to work a little harder to cover the ground isn’t that a good work out? It might not be speed, but it is definitely more endurance. As well, the -20 windchill weather is really not that bad with the proper layers. When I see all of you super-runners say the treadmill is the only option I wonder if I am missing something crucial. The reason I run outside is because running is so much more to me than staying thin or physical fitness. It has so much more to do with my mental health, and the fresh outdoor air and any sun I can find is essential for my mental health. Is there anybody out there that gets my thing? I know that I am very lonely on the streets in my town right now. Clearly, I am in the minority but is there somebody, anybody that can back me up here? C’mon, I need a friend here. 🙂

Thanks! Yeah for the longest time it was just us kids and then we all kind of had kids at one time so its a lot of fun! It is great to see Marshall interact with his young cousins! The Super Bowl was interesting with friend’s kids…not a lot of game watching went on.

I’ve thought about you up in MN during our winter! The Today Show or ESPN or someone was showing two weeks ago some ice fishing competition in MN that had 10,000 people attending. It was like -6 outside. You guys are crazy! Hope the race goes well.

Treadmill intervals are a great workout.

Thanks Brian! I like the site. How’s the training going? 100 mile? Thats a lot of running. Good luck with Umstead. Look forwarding to seeing how it goes for you.

The treadmill gets it done. I’ve never understood the hatred toward it.

What is more fun though are all those kids! Lucky that Marsh Man has so many cousins near him! Since my husband is 8 years older than me, and I am the oldest of all my cousins, there are all older kids on his side, and almost no kids on my side. Our son will have to be surrounded by our close friends children!

It is supposedly going to warm up next week, and I’m signed up for a 5k Saturday so I have all available digits crossed right now. Been doing really irregular treadmill interval runs which I actually sort of enjoy. Running on the treadmill gets boring fast so mixing it up or just pushing yourself works to keep it interesting, or at least to get it over with. 🙂

No one likes it but when you live where there’s snow you just have to get over it! I’m also doing the 2 mile WU, 5 at half-marathon pace and 1 mile cool down. I actually prefer doing this on the ‘mill since I can better pace myself. Mine are more of the 6:44 variety but hey, it works for me.
